471:1
V ers. 12. — Vir vanus in superbiam erigitur. 22. Vanitas audacem ex culpa reddit, et in naturae motibus effrenum. — Vanitatis quippe finis est, ut cum peccato mentem sauciat, hanc ex culpa auda- cem reddat; quatenus, sui reatus oblita, quae ami- sisse se innocentiam non dolet, justo excaecata judi- cio, simul et humilitatem perdat.

For the end of vanity is that, when it wounds the mind with sin, it should render it bold in its guilt; so that, forgetful of its own guilt, and not grieving that it has lost innocence, blinded by a just judgment, it should at the same time lose humility too. And it often comes to pass that, serving depraved desires, it shakes off from itself the yoke of divine fear, and, as though now free for the perpetration of evils, strives to fulfill everything that pleasure suggests. Hence, when the vain man is said to lift himself into pride, at once it is subjoined:
